Synopsis:

The Chevy big-block set an illustrious record in stock car racing and powered some of the fastest and most exclusive Chevy muscle cars of the 1960s and 1970s, such as the Chevelle, Corvette, and Camaro. As a result the Chevy bigblock became as iconic as the cars it powered. But building a Chevy big-block can be a very expensive endeavor and many different aspects require attention to attain maximum performance on a reasonable budget. In How to Build Max-Performance Chevy Big-Blocks on a Budget, master engine builder and veteran author David Vizard imparts his 50 years of engine building experience and unique insight, so the reader can invest wisely and build a maximum performance Chevy big-block.
